you are good at 8. should be anyways. unless you are going huge in the backcountry. thats the only reason i can think of to turn em up past 10 for your height and weight. i'm 5'2" and 115 pounds and i ride look px 12's at din 7. i've popped out twice this season. right when i needed to.

6'0", 140lbs, Level III, 6 DIN on Salomon z10s, 305BSL

I havn't had any pre-releases and they always seem to release when they are supposed to, so I figure why turn them up?

But its utterly stupid to use a conservative DIN setting if you like to haul ass and charge cos if you release doing so your gonna eat shit which off sets the gains from "playing it safe" elsewhere ...

I guess type three, I rip the groomers pretty hard. The park, not so much. ~120lbs and 5'4'', bsl of 300mm rocking a DIN of 6. Never pre-releases, comes of when I need it to.
